101 years and still going strong

Yes, this man says he is 101 years old, worked all his life, still does, goes to the pub and smokes - and is training to run the London marathon.

Seeing countryside, taking in the smell of land, absorbing the green and beige tones of Tasmania are things I feel with a heightened state of awareness - my guess is because all we saw for the past two months was grey skies, water and ice. Lots of ice. So here go some of my impressions from Tasmania:
